Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Mendoza: B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Fernando Mendoza, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hecht. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In slot 1 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
They took Omar Cooper Jr. at par in pick No. 36, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Somehow Daylen Everette was still sitting there in the 102nd pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
They will replay Sam Hecht at No. 117 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Value with a capital V on Will Lee III in pick 134, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at the 175th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Keagen Trost
A tidy little value on Keagen Trost in Round 6, Pick 4, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick208 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
A straight-up fair deal on Kaelon Black at the 208th pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jadon Canady
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jadon Canady in pick No. 219. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
